Some additional symptoms or warning signs to look out for with epilepsy include experiencing an aura or focal aware seizure, which can manifest as rising feelings in the stomach, sudden fear without cause, or vague sensations that often precede a seizure. Staring, blinking fast, confusion, loss of awareness, and jerky arm/leg movements can also be signs of an oncoming seizure. Undergoing regular neurological testing over time can help identify potential medication side effects or worsening of epilepsy symptoms. Tests may assess motor skills, memory, behavior, coordination, and more.
